Ashfield told Page Six that the Sharknado star is a big fan of the Netflix series: "Tara loves Tiger King and found the documentary extremely interesting. She feels she could get into the character of Carole Baskin very well… and she has a similar look to [Baskin]."

While more information about the upcoming live-action spinoff has yet to be released, there are several other Tiger King adaptations in the works. Nicolas Cage has signed on to his first regular television role in his career — being cast as Joe Exotic in a scripted series following the life of the eccentric zoo keeper, while Kate McKinnon has already signed to play Carole Baskin in a scripted miniseries.
